Thanks for the reference. I am also just hoping for folks to recommend some favorite albums that they would "loan" out. I know it's broad, but it's not really tailored to the taste of the receiver. It's the recommending party saying, these are 3 special albums that I think you should hear.
What 3 Albums of 2/3 Genres (PopRock, Jazz, Classical) Would You Recommend?
For all the questions I ask about systems and gear, I really need to ask more about music because that's why we do this, right?
If we (meaning, any of us really) met today, what 3 albums would you loan out to listen to from:
(1) Pop/Rock;
(2) Jazz; and/or
(3) Classical.
Pick any 2 or all 3 categories.
I think the following parameters might be helpful:
--Avoid Canon Choices: It might help to try to dig a bit deeper than albums that are in the cannon of genres 1 and 2--e.g., Beatles Abbey Road or Miles Davis Kind of Blue--only because they have so much appeal and crossover ability that they are relatively obvious choices.
--Lump in sub/other Genres: Of course be mindful that you can and should lump in other genres as sub-genres--e.g. Folk, Blues, Electronic. Shoehorn them in where you think appropriate.
--Musical Content/Sonics: Both should matter to some degree. The albums can be well known or just one of your pets that you'd like to share.
Thanks in advance! My music collection will thank you!!!
